True that the 880 doesn’t leak as much as say my HD6xx or Elex but they still leak a lot.
They leaked too much for me to use them at work (open shared space).
But if a bit of leakage is OK, they sure are great headphones. For the price, they are hard to beat, imo!
Yeah if it’s an open office it’s a no lol (I was thinking more cubicle)
As mentioned, isolation and bass.
I have a very communicative wife who Really likes TV. If I want to enjoy the Lazy-Boy, adjustments need to be made.
My out and about headphones are also closed because that just makes sense.
And BASS is fun when you want it.
However, when I go back to my open backs, it always seems like someone opened a window or turned on the lights.
